Don't forget: 1) snapd action logging doesn't go to the system logs and gets purged after 72 hours - makes troubleshooting why something broke REALLY fun 2) "snap" directory polluting your home directory

Or not being able to get older versions of a particular program. If it is possible, I would like to know how.

  If the older version is available in the snap repository it is is possible to install it. For example: snap info go shows: name: go summary: Go programming language compiler, linker, stdlib publisher: Michael Hudson-Doyle (mwhudson) store-url: https://snapcraft.io/go contact: michael.hudson@ubuntu.com license: BSD-3-Clause description: | This snap provides an assembler, compiler, linker, and compiled libraries for the Go programming language. snap-id: Md1HBASHzP4i0bniScAjXGnOII9cEK6e channels: latest/stable: 1.16.7 2021-09-08 (8298) 94MB classic latest/candidate: ↑ latest/beta: ↑ latest/edge: devel-8d2a9c32a2 2021-09-17 (8356) 99MB classic 1.17/stable: 1.17 2021-08-17 (8172) 99MB classic 1.17/candidate: ↑ 1.17/beta: ↑ 1.17/edge: ↑ 1.16/stable: 1.16.7 2021-09-08 (8298) 94MB classic 1.16/candidate: ↑ 1.16/beta: ↑ 1.16/edge: ↑ 1.15/stable: 1.15.15 2021-09-08 (8304) 95MB classic ... To install an older version you can run snap install go --channel=1.15/stable --classic

    That's not a generic mechanism at all though - right? It is only possible if the snap publisher has decided to support multiple release channels.

You can disable all Snap updates by adding a line to /etc/hosts like this: 127.0.0.1 api.snapcraft.io
